The article presents a spatial analysis of abortion rates in Russia. The study draws on official abortion statistics, which, following methodological revisions in 2018, now include information that was not available in previous years. Regional differences are examined in terms of the incidence of induced and spontaneous abortions, the share of abortions performed in the private health sector, and the frequency of medical abortions.
Despite the overall decline in abortion rates in Russia, significant interregional disparities remain. In general, abortion rates tend to increase from west to east and from south to north. About two-thirds of Russian women of reproductive age live in regions with low and very low levels of induced abortions, while 16% live in regions with relatively high levels. Contrary to expectations, these disparities did not narrow during the study period.

This paper assesses the relationship between financial literacy and over-indebtedness of Russian households using panel data from the Survey of Consumer Finances collected in Russia during 2018–2024. Russia is an interesting case: a relatively young consumer-finance market in which a lack of financial literacy may increase the likelihood of household over-indebtedness. To test this hypothesis, ...

Health misinformation undermines public well-being, yet most research conceptualizes fact-checking as an external intervention targeting false messages only. This obscures the effects of counter-messages on initially truthful statements and diverts attention from fact-checking as a user-driven practice. This study advances misinformation research by examining fact-checking as a spontaneous, naturalistic user behavior, captured via indirect behavioral ...

Vertical disintegration reshaped economic activity and especially
employment, with the rise of contractual networks for the
production and distribution of goods and services that were once
under direct corporate control. With minor exceptions, much of

pay, and generally retentive labor practices that were a ...

Most studies investigating involvement in collective action in environmental protection relate it either to general sociocultural attitudes in society at the macro level or to the strategic actions of eco-activists in specific cases at the micro level. In the first case, this makes it possible to explain variations in environmental actions between different societies/countries; in ...
